Does Kinugawa Royal Hotel allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

A budget hotel over the Kinugawa gorge where the reservable open-air private bath is free, booked at the front desk, 30 minutes per group.

A reservable open-air private bath, free, booked at the front desk, alongside the shared large bath. The hotel's own site publishes no tattoo policy for the shared bath, but the private bath route makes that moot.

貨切露天風呂は1組３０分利用。フロントにて事前予約制となります。

The operator’s own wording, to show at the desk if you need to.

Where it is

Asakusa to Tobu-Nikko is 1 h 50 on Spacia or Revaty, Tobu’s limited express trains (faster, fewer stops, every seat reserved for a fee on top of the fare); the Kinugawa trains run the same rails as far as Shimo-Imaichi and turn up the gorge there. The green loop is the JR Yamanote line, the circle that links Tokyo’s main stations; the red dashes are the train that takes you close to the hotel.

Nikko Pass All Area covers the Tobu line from Asakusa to Kinugawa-Onsen. Tobu’s limited express, the faster reserved-seat train, charges a seat fee on top of it. Sold on Klook.
